1985 Mazda RX-7 12A Description
***** CHECK OUT THE FANTASTIC CARFAX AND CAR HISTORY *****
WELP : This is for my sweetest of all my cars and I'm getting too old so please don't chop up the car if you buy it.
Take great care of it ! It is in such nice shape and I have driven it around the block every single week for the last 5 years.
It runs SO GREAT! IDLES SO GREAT.
It did until I wanted 100% perfect acceleration because I found a very slight crack in the gasket SO I went to the auto parts store in Dec and started to do a quick rebuild. I've done over 100 carb rebuilds in my day but after loosening 3 of the bolts on the carb plate and then didn't have my side wrench handy to undo the 4th one and BENDING DOWN and breaking my old man back, it hit me that it's time to let this go.
If I still have a lift to put the car on or if my back was 20-40 years younger I would have finished this that same day I bought the Rebuild Kit. I have pictures here with the receipt so you can see I bought it in December and then just never got back to it but it was running so so 99% perfect and once the rebuild kit is put on or if you just want to tighten the bolts back you can probably spray a foam to close the gasket cap. I never liked to do that. SO the car will come as good as it looks and YES the inside is really that nice. You will have to put the carb back together or rebuild it and I will include the rebuild kit with it.
I loved driving this every single week and about 2-3 times a year someone would knock on our door asking to buy the car but I was never going to sell it but Thank you old age.
It's time. Besides putting the carb back together ( nothing is missing ) just the typical ashtray spring needs to be put back. I couldn't remember how to because it used to happen to my other RX7 a few times but I didn't want to take off the front plate. It used to be easy and it is but the time for me to let this go is painful.
The car shines up so Bright.
Here are all the bad things about the car so I never ever try to trick anyone and you can see I have a perfect feedback and lots of people made comments how fast my shipping has been and how I included extra things many times with items.
The spring on the ashtray just needs to be put in place so the ashtray will open and close. It stays open right now.
The Chrome edges of the car have been in the sun so they don't have the black luster anymore ( Pictures will show it )
No power steering but it's easy to turn this little car.
I have the removable plastic screen on the trunk lift so it isn't easy to lift but I lift it every other week when I wash the car and I put a rod on the arm to keep it open. If you take off the plastic the back will open and close SO EASY. I just always loved the way it looks with the backing on the window.
No moon roof, or sun roof for the daytime people.

Here are the truly good things. Vin# jm1fb3318f0911633
There weren't too many Automatic Transmission RX7's so this is great.
I think I got a new battery about a year ago.
I don't remember when I got the tires or if it came with them but I included pictures and they are in very good shape. I can't tell unless they weren't in good shape but they certainly have tread because they hold the gravel pebbled in front of my driveway all the time.
You can probably see with Google Maps and Apple Maps and whatever else there is that the car is in a different place in my driveway almost every single week because I drive all the cars around the block all the time....until December when I started on my 100+ carburetor rebuild. I can see it was my last one ever before I started on the RX7
The body and paint are in GREAT shape except a little bubble on the body. It's very small but you'll find it.
The Inside of the car is truly as nice as the pictures. Nobody here smokes, the children have all moved long ago, nobody ever sat in the passenger seat in 5 year since I think I got the car. I had 2 RX7s just because they are so nice and comfortable.
The headliner is perfect
CLOTH SEATS in PERFECT SHAPE
Seat belts work excellent.
The car has absolutely zero issues ( except to put the carb back on )
It ran great, the idol was smooth, it started up every single time, the floor, ceiling, sides are all in good shape from what I can tell. I never had any issue so I wouldn't know.
NO LEAKS and we get a lot of down pours in Fort Lauderdale.
A lot of the time the car was also in the garage in case it doesn't show up on one of the map searches.
I've always kept a carpet on the dashboard so it would stay new looking and I had seat covers on the car ever since I bought it but took them off to take pictures.
ALSO I have the car priced a fraction high so some young kid can't buy it and chop it up. They love to make race cars out of these and soup up the engines and the tail pipes. I was young, I understand ???
There was a little problem but maybe it's my hearing but whenever the car was running I didn't hear it. It was very quiet and smooth. This is probably a good thing.
I just sold a bunch of my cars to make some room and because my car days are over and I have thousands of car magazines so you can tell if I have to send you pics that I'm a car lover and take great care of every vehicle I've ever had. You will probably see I just sold a Cuda this week if the buyer sends me a feed back because my Cuda was on a cover of a magazine.
I most hope you will love the car and if you buy it, check out the vin# jm1fb3318f0911633 as much as you want to check the carfax. In fact I don't think I ever did so I actually need to see it maybe before hand but the car is priced under 10K even though a few people have it over 8 and 9 for the same car but with 2 adn 3 times the miles this one has.
I just looked at the title and I've had the car 6 years and put on about 150 miles, only driving every week around the block and every few months to the gas station to put in a few gallons.
That makes sense that I drove about 20 miles a year/ around the block 50 times a year = 120 miles.
I think the air was working when I tried it last. I'm not sure, I can check. Oh no I can't because the carb is off. sorry but I think it was working but I don't remember if it got cold enough from what I remember.
I hope you'll love this car and take care of it and drive it.
If you buy it, pay a small deposit to paypal but not much. They take out 6 or 7% so you'll have to send the rest with a cashier check or you can wire the money to my bank and
You will need to send a transport truck to pick up the car, or feel free to come rebuild the carburetor here and drive the car home. I'm very confident it should make the trip.
Also the whole tire and jack and all, including the Mazda truck bag are in the back.
I'm putting up pictures as many as I can and in the pics the tires might look dirty because all my neighbors love me and like to help old man with the lawn and they blow the grass each week after they finish so I didn't want to wash the tires so not to fool anyone. What you see is the car as it is right now.
If it were in a show, I would give it around a 92-95. I don't know. I haven't put this one in a show so people wouldn't touch it.
You can see by the last pic I just bought the carb kit to do my 100 rebuild and I put the receipt to show I got it late December, then the holidays, then my back hurt, then the virus so I never put it back together but it only has 1 part I took off along with the carb hoses and the air filter and the 3 bolts I loosened on the carb.
I just saw the carfax and the vehicle history report and it is EXCELLENT
The Score is way above average and
